I’m adding something new- I’m ditching Etsy and selling my stuff here!
Starting with my china pincushions.
Are you looking for a get-away on the north shore of Lake Erie? Applegarth Bed and Breakfast has 2 cozy private rooms available. While most guests visit in the summer to take advantage of nearby Port Burwell Provincial Park, we are staying open through the winter as well.
My Kitchen is done, and I love it! The final stages of this multi-year renovation have been completed!

I Love this time of year!
Spring. My favourite season. Everything is blooming, spring peepers are, well, peeping, and my garden is gearing up for another year!
